    Summary

    Hours into the mating run, and nearing dawn, Buck has finally given up the feeble hope of being chased down by an Alpha and taken on the forest floor, so he begins his humiliating return to the beginning of the trail to check himself out, eat all the ice cream he has in his freezer, and maybe cry into a few beers.

    Only, he has no idea as he gets closer to the camp where the run began, that an Alpha is hot on his trail, and has every intention of making a mate out of Buck—Buck just has no idea, until he’s tackled out of nowhere by that very Alpha who has been following his trail for hours and is ready to claim his prize.

    Summary

    The alpha steps around the curtain, tugging it closed behind him. It’s almost cute, that he thinks there’s any privacy in this place.

    “Hi,” the alpha says, voice rough with desire. His scent spikes with it too, filling the space between them. “I’m Ed- Shit. Are we allowed to share names?”

    Buck blinks at him in surprise. An alpha with a face like that—a body like that—speaking with so much uncertainty surprises him. Not to mention the polite way he keeps his eyes on Buck’s face, even as Buck stretches his legs out further, knowing how many alphas have been weak for them.

    “There’s no rule,” he says slowly, wondering if maybe this is a trick, or some elaborate foreplay. “Most just don’t bother.”

    Summary

    "What if there was?" Combeferre asks abruptly, when she's halfway to her feet.

    She stops and blinks at him. "Was what?"

    "Someone willing to marry you." There's a flush of pink on his cheeks that's enthralling, but his gaze doesn't waver.

    "Then I'd tell them no." Éponine snorts. "Anyone who wants to marry a strange woman sight-unseen is after something, and I've had my fill of being used."

    "Someone who's not a complete stranger, then. Someone you've shared a conversation with." He glances around them at the cafe, at the table between them, and clears his throat. "Shared a meal with. What would you say then?"

    Summary

    He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.

    Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.
